There
is a beautiful passage found in Psalm 71:14-18 that tells us how we should live
our lives, and share what God has done.
As for
me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My
mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day
long—though I know not how to relate them all. I will come and proclaim
your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I
will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
Since
my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your
marvelous deeds.
Look
what is said in the next verse about sharing with younger
generations.
Even
when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare
your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to
come.
Those of us that are
older should take special note of this verse. We feel sometimes as we get older
that we’ve done our share, or we’re ready to “sit and soak”. This is not
Scriptural! Craig Groeschel says, If you are not dead – then you are
not done!
The conversation goes
both ways, and we both have things to teach each other. May we tell of the
great things that the Lord has done.
Amen?
